2020 Nissan Frontier Priced, Exploring the New Frontier of 2021 Will Have to Wait

@Jeff S: I'm pretty much with you on everything you said. I don't like crew cabs ordinarily because the add length with only marginal improvement in usability for their size. Trucks have grown much too large and so much of that space is wasted both inside the cab (really, a console as wide as a LARGE person, along with a second row that almost never gets used by the average owner?) and the bed length suffers as they have gone from an average of 6.5 feet to five feet in length; the short bed now 4.5 feet in length and the long bed only 5.5 feet in length. an 8-foot bed is almost special-order country and for some models almost impossible to buy. As such, modern full-sized trucks are far LESS practical than they used to be while the mid-sized truck has started taking over the "real work" environment. Why? Because my Colorado has a 6' bed and even the crew cab version splits the difference between the short-bed and long-bed crew cab full-sizers at 5' even. Granted, I can't get an 8' bed in a Colorado but then, I also can't get a standard cab, either. But worse, even as it is, my Colorado is fully as long as my 1990 F-150 I drove for three years back in '12. It's almost as wide as that '90 model, too and easily as tall. I took delivery of the Colorado about a week early as some of the options I purchased for the bed hadn't arrived yet, so when I took it in to have those installed, I was given a Silverado to drive while they installed everything... The Silverado overlapped my parking area front and rear and almost completely filled the marked spot in width. And yes, it was notably taller than even my '09 JKU Wrangler, that rode on 32" tires, factory stock. There's a reason I call these things Road Whales and I've finally given my Colorado a name... "Blue Orca", which its onboard WiFi carries as the name of its hotspot. All told, they're simply too big. AND too small for practical use in their original design purpose. Talking about smaller, we do know Ford has 'announced' a true compact truck for '22-'24 model year release (exact year uncertain due to this year's coronavirus event) that is tentatively being called a Courier. With luck, this will be sized like an early Ranger at the largest and hopefully closer to the original Mazda B2000/Ford Courier. There's also rumor that FCAU/whatever the new Fiat/Peugeot group will be called is considering a smaller truck as well, though possibly taking on the Dakota name, which was the original mid-sized truck effectively slotting in between the D-50 and the full-sizers of the day. I was hoping and the original concept for the Santa Cruz suggested a smaller model fitting in better with the more compact version of the mid-sizers but the latest announcements suggest that while it may be shorter, the overall size will be closer to today's mid-sizers than those of 20 years ago, while nearly everyone who WANTS a smaller truck wants one closer to the compacts of 40 years ago. We'll just have to wait and see.
